  Step into the fog-shrouded streets of 16th-century London. 
  A Haunted Walk Through Tudor London is a 30-minute immersive audio experience that guides listeners through the city as it existed during the Tudor era, from the Tower of London to Smithfield Market, from the witches’ quarter at Bishopsgate to the execution ground at Tyburn, and along the shadowed banks of the River Thames. 
  This is not a ghost story in the modern sense. Instead, it is a historically grounded, atmospheric walk through the places where Tudor Londoners lived, feared, believed, and died, told by candlelight, with subtle sound design and careful attention to historical detail. 
  Along the way, you’ll encounter:The restless spirits of queens and traitors at the Tower of LondonThe vanished bells and bookstalls of old St Paul’sThe fires of faith at Smithfield MarketTudor beliefs about witchcraft, cunning women, and familiar spiritsThe theatres and sins of BanksideThe grim spectacle of Tyburn TreeAnd the river that carried London’s memory, the Thames 
  The walk is narrated by Heather Teysko, host of the long-running Renaissance English History Podcast, the original Tudor history podcast, with millions of downloads worldwide. Heather has been sharing Tudor history since 2009 and is known for bringing the period to life through vivid storytelling, deep research, and an accessible, conversational style. 
  Whether listened to at Halloween or on a quiet winter evening, this audio experience invites you to slow down, imagine the city as the Tudors knew it, and walk through history in a way that feels intimate, reflective, and unforgettable.

  Testing Education - A Teacher's...

  Since the 2002 implementation of No Child Left Behind, the American public education system has been fundamentally changed. Excessive testing, standardized curriculums, destructive demands on children, corporate-­style evaluations, and top-­down mandates have become the norm. In response, record numbers of demoralized educators have quit, and millions of students have been left educationally impoverished. This troubling transformation has been exhaustively critiqued by scholars and commentators. Yet one crucial voice has been missing. 
   
   
   
  In Testing Education, Kathy Greeley recounts the impact of education reform from a teacher's point of view. Based on a teaching career ranging nearly forty years, Greeley details how schools went from learning communities infused with excitement, intellectual stimulation, and joy to sterile spaces of stress, intimidation, and fear. In this ultimately hopeful memoir, Greeley asks us to learn from the past to reimagine the future of public education.

  The Islamic Moses - How the...

  Mustafa Akyol

  There is one human mentioned in the Quran more than any other: Moses. Why is it that the Jewish prophet dominates the Islamic scripture? Because he is the role model for Muhammad, Islam's own prophet. Because Islam, just like Christianity, is deeply intertwined with Judaism—although surprisingly little attention has been given to this fascinating connection between the two religions. 
   
   
   
  Author and journalist Mustafa Akyol takes listeners on a theological and historical walk through that much-neglected side of the Abrahamic triangle: the Judeo-Islamic tradition. Using Moses's presence in the Quran as a jumping-off point, Akyol explores the first historical encounter between Muslims and Jews, the creative symbiosis and mutual enrichment that occurred between the two belief systems in medieval times, and the modern emergence, development, and perception of the two religions. 
   
   
   
  At a time of bitter conflict in the Middle East, The Islamic Moses dives into the older, deeper, and often unexpectedly brighter story of Jews and Muslims. Listeners of any background will be surprised by the common historical and theological ground that exists between the two religions, and will come away with a better understanding of both.

  Perceptions

  PERCEPTIONS consists of short pieces, poetry or poem-like essays, written over a period of thirty years, on various serious and reflective topics, but with some humorous and occasional work too. As in Gillian Bickley's previous collections, the subjects occur internationally: this time, in the Pyrenees, Nigeria, Hawai'i, Albania, as well as Hong Kong. Taken as a whole, this fifth poetry collection recognizes the need for shelter and survival, the desire for love, for achievement, for feelings of self-worth, for objects on which to bestow reciprocal affection and the search for high-order achievements beyond the self. Reaching beyond this, Perceptions considers the needs of other species, our responsibilities towards them and the fragile environment that we all share. 
  "The poignance of her many perceptions crowds upon us." -- Stuart Christie
